Dynamic small forward Jamie Elliott has resisted a strong push to move north and has-re-signed to remain at Collingwood, making the premiership player a Magpie for life.

The unrestricted free agent has recommitted to Collingwood for two more years on at least $650,000 per year.

The 33-year-old received a three-year offer from the Suns on more money than Collingwood had been offering with their two-year deal.

With family in Airlie Beach in northern Queensland and plans for him to move there post-football, Elliott very seriously considered the chance to move north now and take up the offer at the Gold Coast.

The Magpies increased their offer to Elliott earlier this week, raising the dollar amount each season, but the contract remains for two years, not the three available at the Suns.
